~July 2007 K-1 Filers~

[Jeraly 4]

Oh dear... tbh I think with AOS I am going to be fine - it all seems pretty straightforward - lots of forms and evidence and things but at least we will be filling it out while not working I'm looking forward to getting a nice file to file all my visa stuff in so it is all nice and shiny How sad am I?! I already have two display books - one for my visa stuff and one for my wedding stuff

I think I agree with you, Jeraly. At least with AOS Natasha and I will be together, so how hard can it be? Of course, there will be the stress over getting the approval for permanent residency, but being together seems like half the battle is already won. Just my 2 coppers.

I just am glad it's Peter's turn to do some of the paperwork now. I'm tired of it. Although, now that it's his turn, I feel like I'm not in control of it, and feel somewhat amiss. I feel like I may be nagging him about it...perhaps that makes me a control freak. Better check myself on that before he gets here.

I like Jeraly's sparkles too.....but that advert thingie does sort of distract one from it doesn't it? hm.

[Jeraly 4]

Yeah - going to try and gimp it tonight Will see how I get on - it just makes it look tacky and yucky so I am going to have a play

As for AOS - I can't wait - I wasn't so incensed with the forms inpacket 3 - they kinda annoyed me - I just want to start a new process that I can take control of and just nag Jeremy over the things I need that I can't do

Wow - you have a really funky chair!! I love the whole beanbag/comfy chair/July Filer cult we kinda have set up here!!

Welcome to the group!!!

thank you, i didnt even know that´there are sooo many different kinds of beanbag chairs... but now I know better

[Jeraly 4]

Haha! See?! We can keep up to date with our progress together *and* develop our knowledge of soft furnishings!! What more could you want?!

You have a very funky chair - I think this could really catch on

*confession*

now we're all - y'know, old hands -

does anyone else want to go into threads that total n00bs post in the first section and tell them all manner of rubbish with a straight face? y'know, the threads that ask about stuff you can find for yourself with two minutes' searching... I want to spin all manner of yarns and then watch the fallout

I think I might be just a tiny bit evil...

Hahaha - yeah I feel pretty bad about it too

That one about what the difference is between service centres?! I just wanted to say "one of them processes petitions, the other one doesn't". But if they are with CSC I don't want to break their hearts!!! Am sure someone has already said it anyway - I am avoiding that post like the plague!!

[Jeraly 4]

I couldn't resist and what do I find?!!?

it's the subject of much study, and in fact there has been a call for papers on the issue

submissions so far have included speculation on whether it has to do with:

- whether there's an R in the month

- the phase of the moon / state of the tides / possibly both

- something about birds flying south for winter

- an 83 year old woman called Edna, who lives in Florida; if she wins at bingo there are approvals that day

- a magic dog (one of the more out-there theories)

- a 'lucky dip' type arrangement, where all the files are thrown into a central pool, and then USCIS employees use one of those crane things like you see at funfairs to grab one out

if you have any thoughts on the matter, the deadline for submissions is April 1

I like "what does touch mean?"

I always want to say "hon...if you need to ask, you should really have that talk your mom and dad have been putting off..."

[GeordieWife 1]

Y'all are bad...so so bad.......but perhaps that's why I like you!!! muahahahaha (evil laugh...not a kiss)

[StillThePrettiest 3]

I couldn't resist and what do I find?!!?

whaaaa?

that must have been - some OTHER StillThePrettiest

[Jeraly 4]

HAHAHAHAHA!!

Ok - this seems to be as good a place as any to share our change of plans!! We've decided that instead of having the Vegas wedding we are goign to go back to Sedona, AZ as it will feel more like an extension of our non-legal wedding - like we got married in Feb but signed the paperwork in August

BUT!

Jeremy still really wants a Vegas trip at some point so we can all get together - it was originally for July-ers but I am sure we can extend the invitation to moxie as he is kind of an honorary July-er

We can plan the meet here

[English Muffin 59]

Speaking of Vegas, Scott and I booked our trip yesterday. We're going to Vegas 24-29 February with the wedding on the 26th. Not decided which chapel we'll be using yet, I'll be doing that today.
